About Harbour Side Caravan Site

A peaceful site ideally placed next door to the Maryport Marina, Harbour Side Caravan Site enjoys stunning coastal scenery all around. Behind the site is the Lake District National Park 25 minutes away, with Skiddaw being reachable by a 40 minute drive. This idyllic, small caravan site has only 28 electric hardstanding pitches, suitable for caravans, campervans and motorhomes. There is a mix of grass and gravel pitches, each of these pitches measures 9m x 3m and has a water supply nearby. Or, if you're after something a little different, there's the option of three cosy camping pods. Each pod sleeps three people, two adults and one child. Please note, that bedding is not provided with the camping pods. Inside the pods, there is a kitchen with a fridge, microwave and crockery for all of your self catering needs. Outside there is a picnic bench to enjoy some alfresco dining. There's no shortage of things to do in the historic town of Maryport and all are within easy walking distance. Spend your days visiting top attractions close by, such as a Roman museum, a maritime museum and an aquarium all just a 20 minute walk from the site. The stunning Lake District National Park is only a 25 minute drive away too!

Harbour Side Caravan Site is open from 09/02 to 31/12 in 2024 and all year round in 2025.

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesDec 2024

What a find this site is, with stunning views of the Marina & Solway Firth. It is a great location for touring the area with Allonby & Silloth-on-Solway only a short distance away. The site is spotless, the toilets and showers were lovely and warm, even in the middle of the night. It is only a 10 minute walk into town where there are plenty of places for food and drinks. We particularly liked the Lifeboat Inn and the portions are huge & great value. We would definitely recommend Harbour Side and are already booking our next visit

Excellent

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesNov 2024

First time here on a stopover up to the Scottish Borders. A lovely site and team, with clean and warm facilities. Bonus, there was clean water on the pitch. The café on site for breakfast was a bonus. A lovely cheerful team and beautiful harbour setting. This is a good site to stop at. We will definitely come back here.

Fabulous location, friendly welcome

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesNov 2024

A fabulous little site in a unique and interesting location, sandwiched between the small commercial harbour and the marina in this quiet part of Cumbria. The facilities are modern and clean and there is the fabulous, dog-friendly Marina View Cafe on the site. Lovely coastal walks both north and south of the harbour entrance as well as pubs and a few shops in the town.
